As for the Borderlands movie, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick called the action movie a disappointment, but noted that the film “even helped a little” for the company, helping to increase sales of Borderlands games.
Zelnik also assured that Borderlands 4, announced for 2025, will not collide with GTA VI, which is expected next fall: “We, like everyone else, will not unnecessarily pile major releases on top of each other.”
On the back of a strong quarter, Take-Two reaffirmed its fiscal 2025 net revenue guidance of $5.55 billion to $5.65 billion and expressed confidence in record results for fiscal 2026 and 2027.
As part of the Take-Two report, it also became known that the company sold the publishing label Private Division to an unnamed buyer, along with all games except the action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked from Moon Studios (Ori duology).
